Johns Hopkins to cut over 2,000 jobs due to funding losses

Johns Hopkins University will cut over 2,000 jobs due to an $800 million loss in federal grants, primarily from USAID. The cuts will impact its medical school, Bloomberg School of Public Health, and JHPIEGO, affecting both domestic and international programs. The job losses include 1,975 positions abroad and 247 in the U.S., with additional furloughs planned. Employees will receive at least two months' notice before cuts, and the university will offer support during the transition. The university's president previously warned that federal funding cuts could severely impact research and medical work. Johns Hopkins relies heavily on federal funding, which constitutes nearly half of its budget.
